Learning Collaboratives
Community Mental Health Services Programs (CMHSPs) and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) can apply to have clinical staff (clinicians/supervisors) participate in an Infant Mental Health-Home Visiting (IMH-HV) Learning Collaborative to build capacity for treatment to infants/toddlers and their families/caregivers. IMH-HV is an evidence-based treatment that is relationally informed and developmentally appropriate treatment model for prenatal women, parents/caregivers and infants/toddlers under the age of 3 years. The Learning Collaborative will provide training and coaching in the IMH-HV model which is delivered in Home-based Services or in Infant Mental Health as a Prevention Direct Service.
Learning Sessions
The Learning Collaborative will involve a total of seven (7) didactic training days in 3 sessions (3 days, 2 days, 2 days). Coaching calls are provided twice a month for 12 months. Specific dates of the coaching calls are provided at the first Learning Session. Implementation Coordinators are invited to attend the first day of Learning Session 1 with their clinicians/supervisor(s).
